Crystal structure of XIAP BIR3 with CS3
Structural highlights
DiseaseXIAP_HUMAN Defects in XIAP are the cause of lymphoproliferative syndrome X-linked type 2 (XLP2) [MIM:300635. XLP is a rare immunodeficiency characterized by extreme susceptibility to infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Symptoms include severe or fatal mononucleosis, acquired hypogammaglobulinemia, pancytopenia and malignant lymphoma.[1] FunctionXIAP_HUMAN Multi-functional protein which regulates not only caspases and apoptosis, but also modulates inflammatory signaling and immunity, copper homeostasis, mitogenic kinase signaling, cell proliferation, as well as cell invasion and metastasis. Acts as a direct caspase inhibitor. Directly bind to the active site pocket of CASP3 and CASP7 and obstructs substrate entry. Inactivates CASP9 by keeping it in a monomeric, inactive state. Acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase regulating NF-kappa-B signaling and the target proteins for its E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity include: RIPK1, CASP3, CASP7, CASP8, CASP9, MAP3K2/MEKK2, DIABLO/SMAC, AIFM1, CCS and BIRC5/survivin. Ubiquitinion of CCS leads to enhancement of its chaperone activity toward its physiologic target, SOD1, rather than proteasomal degradation. Ubiquitinion of MAP3K2/MEKK2 and AIFM1 does not lead to proteasomal degradation. Plays a role in copper homeostasis by ubiquitinationg COMMD1 and promoting its proteasomal degradation. Can also function as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase of the NEDD8 conjugation pathway, targeting effector caspases for neddylation and inactivation. Regulates the BMP signaling pathway and the SMAD and MAP3K7/TAK1 dependent pathways leading to NF-kappa-B and JNK activation. Acts as an important regulator of innate immune signaling via regulation of Nodlike receptors (NLRs). Protects cells from spontaneous formation of the ripoptosome, a large multi-protein complex that has the capability to kill cancer cells in a caspase-dependent and caspase-independent manner. Suppresses ripoptosome formation by ubiquitinating RIPK1 and CASP8. Acts as a positive regulator of Wnt signaling and ubiquitinates TLE1, TLE2, TLE3, TLE4 and AES. Ubiquitination of TLE3 results in inhibition of its interaction with TCF7L2/TCF4 thereby allowing efficient recruitment and binding of the transcriptional coactivator beta-catenin to TCF7L2/TCF4 that is required to initiate a Wnt-specific transcriptional program.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins are critical regulators of cancer cell survival, which makes them attractive targets for therapeutic intervention in cancers. Herein, we describe the structure-based design of IAP antagonists with high affinities and selectivity (>2000-fold) for c-IAP1 over XIAP and their functional characterization as activators of apoptosis in tumor cells. Although capable of inducing cell death and preventing clonogenic survival, c-IAP-selective antagonists are significantly less potent in promoting apoptosis when compared to pan-selective compounds. However, both pan-IAP- and c-IAP-selective antagonists stimulate c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 degradation and activation of NF-kappaB pathways with comparable potencies. Therefore, although compounds that specifically target c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 are capable of inducing apoptosis, antagonism of the c-IAP proteins and XIAP is required for efficient induction of cancer cell death by IAP antagonists. Antagonism of c-IAP and XIAP proteins is required for efficient induction of cell death by small-molecule IAP antagonists.,Ndubaku C, Varfolomeev E, Wang L, Zobel K, Lau K, Elliott LO, Maurer B, Fedorova AV, Dynek JN, Koehler M, Hymowitz SG, Tsui V, Deshayes K, Fairbrother WJ, Flygare JA, Vucic D ACS Chem Biol. 2009 Jul 17;4(7):557-66.
